Quote:Donald Trump suggested canceling the election Thursday and granting himself the presidency.

“What a difference. You know, what a difference this is,” Trump said during a rally in Toledo, Ohio, after comparing his tax plan with Hillary Clinton’s.

“And just thinking to myself right now, we should just cancel the election and just give it to Trump, right? What are we even having it for? What are we having it for?” he asked. “Her policies are so bad. Boy, do we have a big difference.”

Twelve days from Election Day, Trump’s indication that he should be given the White House also comes as he trails Clinton nationally and in a number of key battleground states. Polls also show Clinton is challenging the GOP nominee in Republican strongholds like Arizona, Utah and Texas.

Trump, who has propagated unsubstantiated claims that the election is rigged against him, has also suggested that if he were to lose, he may not concede the election, bucking the tradition of a concession by the loser and a peaceful transfer of power.
Throughout his rally, Trump seemed to gain more confidence as he fed off the crowd’s energy. Less than 10 minutes in, he had called for the “Washington establishment to hear and heed the words I’m about to say.”

“If we win on Nov. 8,” he began, as the crowd roared. “OK. OK. You ready? When we win.”

He acknowledged there was “a lot of good energy” from his supporters and reminded them that he once worked in Ohio, crediting the state for giving him confidence by giving him success before finishing his thought.

“So when,” he continued, pausing for emphasis, “we win, we are going to Washington, D.C., and we are going to drain the swamp.”

I’m not sure he understands the whole concept of democracy yet or more accurately he doesn’t subscribe to it.

I don't even have words at this point...

His whole shtick is what demagogues use prior to a coup to become dictators.

Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

This is the evil clown of the US, not those silly ones in any individual states, that is scaring the rational populace. I have serious concerns about the US on the world stage (and here at home, for that matter), viz the status quo. The crazy shit thinks this is a reality TV show, and he has millions of followers who swallow this shit.

Thankfully, enough people will see through it and not elect him, and he won't get appointed to any sort of office once the election is over. Who wants that comb-over in any sort of rational discussion about how to handle anything more than a vulva, just because he can?

I feel like this is some kid of joke...and we're all on the Truman show or something.

Agreed. Now for the important part of your post...DOUCHECANOE? I looked it up and it is a THING I learn something new everyday I show up to work here.

Thank you for the added vocabulary term.

Directed at Trump.
